The Call
Then: Formed in the San Francisco area in 1980, the alternative rock group The Call made their debut in
1982 with an eponymous album whose passionate music earned them comparison to the Clash, U2, the Band and Peter
Gabriel. 1983's Modern Romans won the group an underground following thanks to the single and MTV hit "The
Walls Came Down." The group composed of Michael Been (vocals & bass), Tom Ferrier (guitar), and Scott
Musick (percussion) added keyboardist Jim Goodwin in time for 1984's Scene Beyond Dreams. 1985's Reconciled produced
the much played "Everywhere I Go" and "I Still Believe" which expanded the groups following.
Following the 1987 release of Into the Woods, The Call scored another hit with 1989's Let the Day Begin whose title
track was another radio favorite.
Now: Unfortunately, after the release of Red Moon in 1990, The Call disbanded and Michael Been began
a solo career, releasing his debut album On The Verge Of A Nervous Breakthrough, in 1994. The Call reunited in
1997 with To Heaven And Back. The Call continues to be honest to itself and their fan's with Been's introspective
lyrics supported by solid musicians. In 2000, The Call released Live Under A Red Moon a collection of live material
from their 1992 Red Moon Tour.
